Scientific Knowledge Meets Experience: A Psychologist With Three Children Shares Proven Tips

By Serap Minaz Kiratik

I gave him my body, my soul - half of it became his. My heart raced twice as fast. I surrendered my sleep, gently handed over my freedom, and believed dreams would unfold when built upon his. But instead came a deep depression, an unraveling anxiety, a modern-day burnout. This is how motherhood was taught: without forgetting yourself, it was seen as incomplete. I feared losing myself would harm my motherhood. But as I faded, his childhood began to suffer. So, dear mother, you are a nurturer, but above all, you remain human - with feelings, needs, and a life beyond motherhood. You must feel well to make him feel well, be happy to nurture happiness. Know your worth, lighten your load. Perfect motherhood doesn't exist-but perfect childhood memories rest in your hands. A raw, profound journey for every mother striving to hold her whole self and give her child the very best.

What happens when science meets the sleepless nights of motherhood? When a clinical mind faces the raw, beautiful chaos of real parenting?

In Scientific Knowledge Meets Experience, psychologist and mother of three, Serap Minaz Kıratik, bridges the gap between professional wisdom and lived emotion. Through deeply personal reflections and practical guidance, she invites parents to rediscover balance, compassion, and growth-both for themselves and their children.

From understanding depression and anxiety in new mothers to learning self-forgiveness amid exhaustion, this book offers real solutions for real parenting struggles.

"You must feel well to make them feel well. Perfect motherhood doesn't exist-but perfect love does."
